OpenRPA
What OpenRPA is
OpenRPA is free, open-source robotic process automation software for workflows coordinated by OpenCore. It automates Windows applications and lists native integration for SAP, Java, browsers, mainframes, images, and Microsoft Office. Workflows can embed C#, VB, Python, PowerShell, or AutoHotKey code. Triggers can react to events such as file changes, keyboard input, and Outlook out-of-office status. The software supports attended robots using interactive forms and unattended robots managed by OpenCore over RDP. Unattended robots can be self-healing and run at high density. A picture-in-picture mode lets a robot work in a screen corner over RDP while the main desktop remains available. OpenRPA is for Windows, and the maker's download link points to a Windows MSI installer. OpenRPA and OpenCore are free to use, while licensing, hosting, and consulting are priced on request. Community forum assistance and commercial support are listed; partner training, installation, and troubleshooting are paid services. The repository lists the MPL-2.0 license.
